Devon: #8e19d7Devon giggled quietly to herself as she strode away from the area of the campgrounds where the Ilvermorny students were staying. As much as she’d love to stay with the other Ilvermorny students while here at Hogwarts, she also wanted to explore this new school. On top of it, other students from different schools were staying at Hogwarts, too! It sounded like a lovely opportunity to meet completely new students and potentially make more friends. Making friends was one of her favorite things to do.
‘It is so nice out here! Sure, it feels a little weird to be, as we say in the State, across the pond. But, it also feels perfect at the same time. It’s a little weird, to be sure. But, I’m excited for this experience,’ she thought.
For now, the young Horned Serpent was carrying a book and a bright smile, as she twirled gracefully through the Hogwarts campgrounds. It did not take her long to travel to the regular Hogwarts grounds. She spotted a tree nearby, and Devon sat on the ground in the shade of the tree, after fixing her skirt. A light breeze slightly ruffled her hair, and she giggled again, as she pushed a stray strand of her blonde hair behind her ear. With a bright smile, she popped open her copy of Furthermore. She began to read her book.Reducio

Devon: #8e19d7Even with just the short walk from the campgrounds to the lake, Devon was easily able to see the differences between just the grounds of Hogwarts from the grounds at Ilvermorny. While she was just a measly first year at the American school, she came to love the grounds at Ilvermorny. There were so many places she could relax. And if she ever needed any peace and quiet, she could find it.
Devon flipped the page in her book. ‘Everything feels different here … even just sitting here by the lake. In America, it felt …. I don’t know, it’s really hard to quantify. I want to say fresher. Similar to a crisp apple feeling …. darn, I should have brought a notebook with me, that was a pretty good comparison that I could use,’ she thought, a giggle dancing on her lips, as she flipped the page a second time.
As her emerald green eyes flew across the page, Devon heard a male voice talking to her. “Hi, you’re welcome to join me,” she replied. After a few moments, she placed a finger in her book to keep her spot and she looked properly up at the newcomer. She saw a boy who did not look like a typical Hogwarts student.
Devon gave this boy a bright smile. “The book I’m reading is called Furthermore. I love how it has magic in it, but nothing like real magic,” she giggled.Reducio

Devon: #8e19d7Devon gently closed her book against her hand, to show this boy that he had her undivided attention. While she wasn’t trained to be polite or anything, she didn’t want to appear rude. Especially, since she was in a foreign country, with other students of other schools, too. While she didn’t know much of anything about the other schools of magic, she yearned to learn more. The young Horned Serpent was very inquisitive.
“You’re welcome, I don’t mind having company,” Devon smiled. “Furthermore is about this world where this girl Alice has to travel to, to hone her magic, called Furthermore,” she replied. She gently shook her head at his question. “No, I am not. I attend Ilvermorny. Oh, cool. Mahoutokoro! That’s in Japan, right? Awesome,” she giggled. “It is nice to meet you Mateo. My name is Devon Wallen,” she smiled.
Devon’s green eyes glanced down at his outstretched hand, and she immediately clasped his hand and shook it. Her love came from broom racing, despite having fallen from her broom at the beginning of the school year. While she still used the school brooms, she really wanted to afford one, one day. Naturally, she had plenty of other interests to occupy her time, other than flying at fast speeds.Reducio

Devon: #8e19d7Devon was not normally shy or quiet. That didn’t stop her from still being awkward, however. But, she could normally hold some form of conversation for a while. And often had a lot of pent-up energy. As her interactions with a certain red-haired boy from her school showed, she could be reduced to being unable to converse. Thankfully, it didn’t happen often.
Upon the completion of their handshake, Devon placed her hand in her lap. “I brought it with my to Ilvermory, and now here. I’m a muggle-born student, so I have many muggle books like this,” she gestured with her free hand back to the book, still with her finger in it to denote her page. She wasn’t the type to rudely start reading, while still holding a conversation. All the more, then, she’d be seen as incompetent.
Devon nodded to Mateo’s comment about where Ilvermorny was. “It is. I grew up in New York City, so it wasn’t that big of a change for me. I used to a big city,” she giggled. “Oh, I completely agree. It is nice to see so many of us here at the same time. It makes it ripe to make friends with other students from different schools, which I find enjoyable,” she replied. “Oh, cool! I don’t know anyone that well. I saw a cute brunette Slytherin girl yesterday and we talked. She was kind of shy, but still equally curious,” she giggled.Reducio

Devon: #8e19d7Devon hadn’t been on the lookout to date at all. It wasn’t even a topic on her radar. To her, the most important things when she started Ilvermorny were to start off the year strong academically, join plenty of activities, make a name for herself to separate her from her siblings, and, of course, have fun. To be fair, she was doing well at those goals. However, the initial name she made for herself wasn’t good. Falling off your broom in front of others wasn’t an accomplishment. Hopefully, with broom racing, she could repair her image.
“I don’t know about any customs in Japan. But I can tell you about anything in America. My family and I live in this big apartment complex. I’m pretty sure our apartment is on the bigger side … I have two older brothers and an older sister. They all go to Ilvermorny, too,” she explained. “Oh, New York City is crazy busy and very big. To get around, one of the easiest modes of transportation is the subway, but that gets jam-packed so easily,” she continued. “Yokohama sounds cool. Smaller cities are nice, too. I’m glad you enjoy it there.”
Devon nodded in agreement about learning more about other cultures “I know! That’s the best part!” She giggled at Mateo’s comment about the Slytherin girl and his childhood bestie being besties. “That would be a very big coincidence. I could ask her when I see her again. The girl’s name is Kaitlyn Connor,” she recalled.Reducio
